This is a list of bird species recorded in Zambia. The avifauna of Zambia include a total of 779 species, of which one is endemic, one has been introduced by humans and four are rare or accidental. Eleven species are globally threatened.

This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 5th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Zambia.

The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.

  • (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Zambia
  • (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Zambia
  • (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Zambia as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
